Following his Twitter feud with singer-songwriter Wiz Khalifa, rapper Kanye West has once again caused a stir on the internet by sending out a tweet which claimed that comedian-actor Bill Cosby, who is charged with sexual assault, was innocent.

"Bill Cosby innocent!" the 38-year-old rapper posted to his 18 million followers, reports aceshowbiz.com.

He didn't give any explanation about his controversial tweet and continued posting some messages about other topics.

Shortly after the tweet was sent, people immediately reacted to it. While some of them expressed their disagreement, some others just gave hilarious comments.

"Countdown to @kanyewest saying 'My Twitter was hacked'," a Twitter user wrote.

"Im'ma let you finish but Kanye West wrote the worst tweet of all time," another user tweeted.

There's also a user who posted a photograph showing the list of Bill's victims.

"Here are all the women who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault @kanyewest," so read the caption of the photo.

More than 30 women have accused the 78-year-old comedian of sexual assault. Back in December 2015, Cosby was charged with aggravated indecent assault in connection with an alleged sexual assault he committed in early 2004.
